I’ve had two suggestion so far. I’m leaning towards “Muffie.” I’ve uploaded a number of photos that I took of kitty today, possibly that will inspire some ideas. If not, you’ll see how cute she is.
I had her to the vet this last week & she’s about 5 pounds and she’s older than 6 months but less than a year. I’ll have her spayed at the end of the month.
I say with “confidence” (??) that she’s litter trained and I let her sleep in my bed last night. She’s a cuddler.
For more photos of kitty, click here.
She looks like a Dusty or a Tornado or a Dirtdevil or something. Something with a touch of sinister. Call her TS. Touch of Sinister.
Dusty might work, but I think she’d get confused because there is never any dust in my house. I think the name needs an “ee” sound at the end. It’s hard to say “Here, Tornado, Tornado, Tornado” in a high pitched voice when I’m trying to coax her to come to me!
Is there a name yet for the Kitty?
If so, what it is? If not, why not?!?
Kitty is lying on my chest as I type this note. Her name is still “Kitty”.
I’m beginning to wonder if my inability to name her is because I will be giving her away next May.
Doug and Kitty “bonded” while he was here. He thinks I should call her “Spooky” because he thinks she has Halloween colouring. Spooky doesn’t sound very feminine or cat like.
I think there are lots of non-creative people who call their cats, “Kitty”.
She gets spayed on Wednesday.
Mary – if you name her, you claim her! Would you like to name her?
No, Mary would NOT like to name her. Mike and I won’t be able to come home and visit anymore, and then who would spoil me for a weekend?
(We both have cat allergies)
Okay, Jennifer … just for you I’ll let Mary off the hook. But I’m still open to names for kitty.
I think you should call her Bucky. Or maybe call her Captain Picard. Or maybe call her PJ-Sillypants.
I vote for PJ-Sillypants.
Oh Rhett … and especially you, daughter dear Jennifer! …. PJ sillypants?!?! You’ve got to be kidding! Why not Sulli-Willi and then John Pulley and the “Silly-Willie’s” could keep him as their mascot should you decide not to take the kitty back to Regina with you, Kristin. For our other interns/vicars we’ve told them we’re keeping a report card on them – the more failures they get the longer they stay in the parish with us!!! You better watch out … no name for kitty is surely worth a x or two on your report card. And do know how many other x’s and check marks you have?!??!?!?
I’m on death’s door with a cold that Doug shared with me … I’ve been on my sick bed all day!! When I finally find the energy to check the web, I use up my last remaining energy laughing!
If I ever say “Silli-Willi’s” out-loud it will be all your fault Mary … but a really good suggestion about them needing a mascot.
And “PJ Sillypants” seems to resonate for me. Kitty has been so frisky the last two weeks. I thinks she finally has her strength. And Kitty sleeps literally on top of me at night – so PJ kind of works too.
As for all my X marks (I almost made it a triple-X – yikes!)…I think I probably earned a few last night at Church Council. I tried to use the scenario “What if Mary & Gerald got a divorce …” Of course Gerald had a quick comeback which had us roaring with laughter!!
So with being sick, I’ve been reading the church history book … and I think I’d like to stay. So let me bring those X’s on! (as though I’d have to try very hard!)
Is that the same man who I hear suggested camoflague painting the interior of the church?!!! Yikes! Gotta get that man out to the bush to satisfy his deer hunting urges!
How very kind of Doug to share his cold with you, eh?! Better start preparing now, Doug … looks like that silly PJ Sillypants kitty is going to always want a spot with Kristin in bed!
Kristin, Make yourself a big pot of chicken noodle soup, wrap yourself in blankets and forget about the world around you until you are feeling better!
If I was a betting woman, I’d put $20 on the table that Kristin says Silli-Willis when making the announcements at church sometime this year…. I hope it’s for a radio broadcast so that we have it on tape for posterity’s sake!
Kristin, are you regretting telling us about your blog yet?
No regrets!
I’m so goofy … I do almost anything on a dare … am I 14? or am I 50?
So … if I get the $20 … but I never make the announcements … for $50 I could possibly work it into a sermon!
I swear, if John P. reads this post he’ll make mincemeat out of me!
I think I’ll email him the link right now, Kristin.
We’ll talk more about adding Silli-Willis into a sermon. That could get interesting…
I wrote a post about all of this craziness here: http://www.rockstarpoet.ca/2007/11/02/i-am-an-inspiration/
Kristin, why would I try to make mincemeat out of you. After all, the more mistakes you make, the longer you stay in our midst. That goes with out saying. Besides, God loves you and we do too, so it would not be a hardship for us to hold you longer than nine months in our parish. That gives us lots of ammunition for what ever cause we need to use it for. We “Silli-Willis” hold you in high esteem even though we are the Sulli-Willi shepherds.
John – you are the best! I love you and Liz!
